Here is a guide to buy gifts for gymnastics coaches. I updated it this year, even though I might be a little late. You can however use these printable gymnastics gift tags on whatever gift you are giving your gymnastics coach:

Since a gymnast’s coaches are such a huge part of a gymnast’s success, we should definitely show them some extra appreciation during the holiday season. Many gyms will have some type of holiday party, which is a great reminder to give them something special. Without a party, it might not be on your radar, so just in case here are some gift ideas for your gymnastics coach.
Gymnastics Coach Gifts
Thoughtful Gifts
1. Baked Goods
Of course, a nice Thank You note and baked goods are always appreciated, especially if you there are a lot of coaches on your list. I’d recommend putting the treats in a cute jar like this or this with some ribbon and this “Thanks for Being a Sweet Teacher” printable to spruce it up a little!
2. Nice coffee mug/thermos + (Starbucks giftcard) – Since coaches frequently have early morning practices and late night practices to accommodate everyone’s busy school & activities schedules, they probably run on caffeine. This is a great, practical gift for them. Depending on the age and gender of the coach, here are some great ones to choose from:
If you want to go the ‘great coach’ route–here’s a nice coffee mug.
Or the Best. Coach. Ever Mug.
Here’s a mug you can personalize with your coach’s name.
For younger gymnasts who might want to personalize their gift–try this design your own mug.
Keep Calm the Coffee’s On Mug– great for all ages/genders.
A Stainless Steel Campfire Gym Coach Mug, for the no-nonsense, practical coach or a tumbler like this one.
And save yourself some time and buy your Starbucks giftcard online.
3. Kindle – If a whole level/class/team wanted to contribute $5 to $10 per gymnast to buy a nice gift, I think this would be a great present. Coaches are on the road a lot during competitive season, have frequent breaks at the gym in between classes, and breaks between meets. This would be a nice portable gift they could bring around with them. Depending on how many gymnasts there are and how much each person is contributing, you could buy this Kindle.
4. Luxury lotion – Along the same lines as the ‘spa in a basket’ idea, nice lotion is always a great gift for women in general, especially women coaches. Being in a chalky gym all day definitely does a number on your skin, especially on your hands.
Gift Sets
5. Gymnastics Meet Survival Kit- Gymnastics coaches are constantly dealing with problems a
t gym meets and putting together a little “Gym Meet Survival Kit” I think would be a cute idea. Put all the items in a small bag (or grip bag!) so they can bring it with them to meets so they are always prepared for issues that come up! They will be thinking about how thoughtful you are all meet season!
- Gym Meet Survival Kit bag– this simple grip bag would work
- Athletic Tape– for taping up rips, or taping any other injury
- Bobby Pins– These are multi-colored to blend in–for fixing gymnasts’ hair that just won’t stay put!
- Antibiotic Ointment– for putting on rips with tape
- Hair Ties– You can never have enough, and you never seem to have them at the right moment– now your coach will!
- Hairspray– I know when I coached I always needed hairspray to fix my gymnasts hair!
- Band-Aids– for any small injury
- KIND Bars– a healthy snack to stave off hunger during long meet sessions
- Tylenol– individual 2 packs, you can just put a couple of the packs in the survival kit!
6. Spa in a Basket – When I think of gifts for coaches, I tend to focus on gifts related to relaxation. You can make your own spa in a basket or buy a pre-made one like this one!
7. Gift Baskets – Because you can never go wrong with giving food!
Chocolate, Caramel and Crunch Grand Gift Basket
All Natural Healthy Snack Gift Basket
Healthy Vegan Snack Gift Basket
8. Nice Vase + Flowers – Simple and classic.
Bormioli Rocco Vinciana Vase
Personalized Gifts
9. Ornaments – On their tree for years to come!
Best Gymnastics Coach Ever
World’s Best Gymnastics Coach
Personalize an Ornament
10. Frame – Give a frame with a picture of the group in it or even a collage of a lot of team pictures for them to hang in the gym. Choose either a basic one, or one where the kids can add signatures.
Coach Personalized Wood Frame
Coach Wood Word for Signatures
Personalized Gymnastics Coach T-Shirt– Personalize a gymnastics coach t-shirt for your gym coach!
Gymnastics Coach T-Shirt
You Don’t Scare Me Gym Coach T-Shirt
11. Gymnastics Books –
Gymnastics Psychology
12. Notepads – If your coach is one of those coaches that always has a notebook out making workouts, plans, keeping track of scores etc.
I’m a Gym Coach What’s Your Superpower Notebook
Classic Route
Scorebook for Girls
Scorebook for Boys
I hope you liked my gifts for your gymnastics coach or gymnastics teacher!

This is such a thoughtful post, as finding the perfect thank you for our amazing coaches is so important! I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with options, but a friend recently suggested I browse on shop com (see reviews at https://shop-com.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html) to see a ton of ideas from different stores all in one place. It was incredibly helpful to compare so many unique gift possibilities without jumping between dozens of websites. Seeing all those choices in one spot really helped me find a truly special gift that I know my coach will love.
